The WWE universe is excitedly buzzing as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's daughter, Simone Johnson, is set to make her wrestling debut at NXT's Stand & Deliver event under the ring name Ava Raine. Simone's TV debut occurred last October when she joined The Schism faction in the popular professional wrestling show NXT.
Simone is following in the illustrious footsteps of her father, a ten-time WWE champion, and looking to carry on the family legacy in the world of professional wrestling. The Rock, a third-generation wrestler himself, has not only created a successful career in the WWE but also transitioned to a highly accomplished acting career in Hollywood.
In the latest edition of NXT, The Schism's members, including Ava Raine, Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, and Jagger Reid, were challenged to a match by Chase University's Andre Chase, Duke Hudson, and Thea Hail. This challenge was soon followed by announcing a new collaborator for the Chase University team, the talented Tyler Bate.
The highly anticipated eight-person match has been officially booked for the Stand & Deliver event, marking the debut of Simone "Ava Raine" Johnson. Fans eagerly await her performance and how her unique wrestling style will evolve as she steps into the ring for the first time.
Dwayne Johnson's Pride as Daughter Simone Blazes Her WWE Path
Dwayne Johnson, who also followed in the footsteps of his dad, Rocky Johnson, and his grandfather, Peter Maivia, in the professional wrestling business, has openly expressed his pride in his daughter Simone for pursuing a career in the industry.
In an appearance on The Tonight Show, the WWE legend and actor said: "She signed her contract with the WWE, and you know it blows my mind. First of all, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps. But more importantly, following in my footsteps sounds cliché, but she wants to create and blaze her path, which is so important." Simone's decision to forge her path in wrestling has garnered industry veterans and fans' attention.
Many are eager to witness the continuation of the Johnson wrestling dynasty and are hopeful that Simone will bring her unique flair and charisma to the ring, much like her father, The Rock. As the Stand & Deliver event approaches, anticipation is growing among WWE enthusiasts keen to see how Simone "Ava Raine" Johnson will make her mark in the world of professional wrestling.
The expectations are high with a strong wrestling lineage behind her, but there is little doubt that Simone has the talent, dedication, and passion to excel in the WWE and create her own unique legacy.
